Subject: Introduction/Disclaimers

 This is the first time I have done a FAQ, so if some information is not
 quite right, or wildly inaccurate, in no way is Robert Waite, AVCNet, or
 anyone else even remotely associated with them responsible in any way for
 anything.

------------------------------
Subject: What Is AVCnet?

 AVCNet is actually 2 things...

 AVCNet, The Organization:  The Androscogin Valley Community Network
 (AVCNet) is a group of Schools, Libraries, Electronic Bulletin Boards,
 Commercial Information Service Providers, NGO's, and Privet Individuals
 who have gotten together to provide a forum to bring together
 Organizations and Privet individuals as a way to educate the general
 public about the use of electronic forms of communication.

 AVCNet, The UseNet Domain:  Thanks to the folks at Bates College, we
 have our own UseNet Domain (avcnet.org).  We have UseNet Mail and
 Newsgroups (sorry, no alt.* at this time....).  if you carry UseNet via
 AVCNet, you MUST carry the AVCNET.* newsgroups.

; Here we need the following: 1) Requirements for a usenet node address
; (means we need to resolve the money issue I guess..), 2) I can provide
; a sub-sub domain (it would give a address like
; user.name.site@ecolink.avcnet.org), do we want to put this in here?.
; What else do we need?

------------------------------
Subject: Who Is On AVCNet ?

; Do we want a list of Sites?, Names?  If so, Just who are we?

------------------------------
Subject: What Is AVCNet's Mission ?

; I Need a copy of the Latest Mission Statement.... I have a old one
; here, but....)

------------------------------
Subject: How Do I Join AVCNet ?

; We Need Guidelines for bringing in new system's...

Joining AVCNet the Organization: All you need to do is show up at a
meeting.  Individuals memberships cost 5 dollars, for that you get
expanded access at some local BBS's, and the Warm, Fuzzy Feeling that
you get when you support something you believe in...  Note:  You do not
need to be a member to take advantage of e-mail services...

; and anything else we can think of....

------------------------------
Subject: What are the ByLaws ?

; I also need the most recent version of the bylaws....
